Chapter 423 Recruiting Volunteers



[This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; only ten volunteers are needed.] To alleviate everyone's concerns, Li Lechen posted another comment: [This flu virus is most damaging to the liver and can cause irreversible fibrosis in the lungs. The shortest time from infection to the onset of symptoms is one day, and the longest is about ten days. The shortest time from the onset of symptoms to death is two days.]

This information has been verified by experts. After all, top experts from around the world have gathered together. Even if they can't develop a specific drug or vaccine for the SW18 virus, they can at least get a fairly good understanding of the virus itself.

The SW18 virus does indeed have a high degree of mutability, but its most notable characteristic is that it does not affect the brain.

However, it's truly terrifying that it doesn't affect the brain. While most people enter a deep coma before dying, SW18 virus infections cause pulmonary fibrosis, leading to continuous respiratory failure and excruciating pain. This pain, due to the difficulty in breathing, cannot be relieved by painkillers; each breath feels like a thousand arrows piercing the heart. Until the very last moment of life, patients can clearly perceive the pain and the impending death.

If the pain level of so-called fruit acid poisoning in the future reaches 100 points, then the pain level of the entire death process from infection with the SW18 virus can also reach 80 points, after all, the latter takes longer from onset to death.

However, while there is an antidote for fruit acids, there is no antidote for the SW18 virus, and it is highly contagious, which is the most terrifying thing for human society.

Many people both understand and don't understand Li Lechen's explanation.

If the infection only affects the lungs, wouldn't a lung transplant be the solution? It's that simple.

That's why I said things weren't that simple; there must be some important information being hidden.

[Wasn't it previously stated that organ transplantation wouldn't be used for treatment? Why insist on abandoning the simpler approach and opting for an older method?]

[Is there a hundred million just for signing up? Can I just sign up and not get infected?]

[I feel like this is a trap; once you sign up, the end result will probably be death.]

Is this a new method of humanitarian annihilation? They're even recruiting volunteers to die now—how terrifying!

[They haven't explained the requirements for becoming a volunteer, it feels so vague.]

[Yes, yes, what exactly are the eligibility requirements? Can anyone just apply?]

Theoretically, anyone could do it. So Li Lechen hadn't really thought about setting any conditions beforehand. In his mind, there should be a lot of people vying to do this kind of thing, since two hundred million yuan was readily available. He was even planning to use a lottery or something if there were too many applicants.

But clearly, after not going live for more than two months, he has lost touch with much of the future world.

Indeed, after the last round of global health checks, everyone's intelligent knowledge chips were upgraded. Of course, the global health checks upgrade the intelligent knowledge chips every year, reorganizing the knowledge points within them. But this upgrade is different; much of the information that was previously deleted has been added back. Besides knowledge points like cooking and male/female reproduction, which were removed due to corporate interests, there is also some processed historical information.

Such as the accident that year, the lost civilization of mankind, and the abnormal development of technology.

Therefore, most people nowadays accept that the era they live in is apocalyptic. Outside their immediate surroundings, many other higher beings constantly plunder their resources, squeeze their living space, and even directly take their lives.

If it's the end of the world, what's the point of talking about rules?

All the rules are simply made by the government according to its current needs; so-called humanitarian destruction is nothing more than being carried out according to demand.

Because the upgrade involved intelligent knowledge chips, people didn't feel out of place with the new knowledge they acquired. Even though the external situation was terrible, they continued to live their lives carefree.

However, even if one is concerned about the country and its people, there is nothing one can do, so it is better to be carefree.

The volunteers I need will arrive at the designated area via a portal and stay there for one day. After one day, they will receive a reward of 100 million. If they successfully contract the virus, they will receive another 100 million. The next step is for the volunteers to use their unique skills to treat the virus. I need a non-surgical organ transplant treatment method.

Bored from being cooped up at home and having not been on live streaming platforms for a long time, Li Lechen gave an unprecedentedly detailed explanation.

Of course, this is also related to the popularity of Lin Sen's live stream, with more than two million viewers. If this were in other live streams, it would be equivalent to several hundred viewers.

There was nothing wrong with what was said in itself; it was simply stating the facts. However, the masses, with their divergent thinking, quickly discovered the problem.

What's going on with this exclusive zone?

Will I get infected by visiting the restricted area? Is the restricted area currently teeming with viruses?

[Are all the top players in the exclusive zone infected with a mutated flu virus that can cause pulmonary fibrosis?]

It's hard to imagine that the exclusive zone is full of flu viruses.

[I wonder if the "Wind Chaser" (a popular streamer) is infected? Could he be dying and trying to take others down with him?]

No matter how much money a person has, it's all gone once they die.

So, is this the big boss giving away his wealth before he dies?

[It's obvious they're trying to drag others down with them.]

If the infection only affects the lungs, what's wrong with organ transplantation? Why go through the trouble of finding a complicated, roundabout method?

Has the exclusive zone also fallen like the Sunshine Zone?

[The person upstairs has revealed the truth]

It seems that quarantine zones are better; at least they're safe.

Therefore, anything natural always carries risks.

[One hundred million Sunshine Coins? It seems like it's worth a try if you're really short on cash.]

It's two hundred million.

Yes, two hundred million is indeed very tempting.

Even if you have money, you won't live to enjoy it. It's almost certain now that this is a trap; whoever goes there will die.

That's right, whoever goes will die.

"People die for money; I think it's worth a try."

Is the person upstairs planning to sign up as a volunteer?

I wasn't prepared, I was just looking around, and I think staying in Safe Zone B is pretty good. Right now, Safe Zone B is probably the most comfortable area; there's no pressure like in Safe Zone A, and the environment is better than the quarantine zone.

[Envious of the pros living in the safest area B]

[Haven't you guys noticed a major flaw? This is an impossible task for the master 'Chasing the Wind'.]

Of course, going there would mean certain death, so it was naturally an impossible mission.

What major flaw? Could this also be a scam?

[It can't be a scam, can it? What could they possibly be scamming? Are they even trying to fool people?]

[From the beginning, I suspected it might be a new way of humanitarian destruction, but I went because I was willing to volunteer.]

[Wasn't it supposed to be a teleportation portal to the exclusive area? Wouldn't those just be virtual avatars? Theoretically, they shouldn't die, right?]

[Under normal circumstances, they won't die, but if they bring the virus back, their bodies will be essentially poisoned, and they will still die.]

Yes, you can die.
